UT baseball: Longhorns get No. 7 national seed

AUSTIN — Texas drew the No. 7 overall seed in the NCAA baseball tournament, giving the Longhorns a chance to host a super regional for the third consecutive year.

UT (43-15) will host Texas State, Kent State and Princeton in the Austin regional beginning Friday at Disch-Falk Field. The winner of that regional will play a super regional against the winner of the Tempe regional, which features Arizona State and Arkansas. Because UT earned a Top 8 national seed, it will host the super regional if it wins this weekend.

“The main thing about all of this is you’re in the top 8,” UT coach Augie Garrido said. “It’s not as important to be (No.) 1. Sometimes that’s the wrong thing to be.”

UT not only gets a home field advantage all the way to Omaha, they also get the cupcakes to ensure they make it there. Augie & his Longhorns could pitch their midweek players against this weekend’s opponents & still have a sweep, but when Arizona St comes to Austin, UT will need their “A” game to advance.

Good job t-sips, just like in the Big 12 tournament, you won’t make it out of your own regional, wow, Kent St. really? You can pitch but you can’t hit, that won’t take you very far but to your couch to watch the rest of the regional.
